  • Patent number: 10890073
    Abstract: A turbine blade (43a) is provided with a blade main body (51) and a tip shroud (52). The blade main body (51) is provided with a leading edge-side cooling passage (64), a trailing edge-side cooling passage (67), and a middle cooling passage (65). The tip shroud (52) is provided with a first discharge passage (72), a second discharge passage (73), and a third discharge passage (74). The first discharge passage (72) discharges a cooling medium flowing through the leading edge-side cooling passage (64). The second discharge passage (73) discharges a cooling medium flowing through the trailing edge-side cooling passage (67). The third discharge passage (74) discharges a cooling medium flowing through the middle cooling passage (65).

  • Patent number: 10633977
    Abstract: An end plate of a blade has a gas path surface facing a combustion gas channel side, an end surface along an edge of the gas path surface, a plurality of channels, and a skirt hole. The plurality of channels extend along the direction of a partial end surface, which is a portion of the end surface, and are arranged in a perspective direction with respect to the partial end surface. The skirt hole opens at the partial end surface. The skirt hole communicates with an inside channel, which is the channel of the plurality of channels that is farthest from the partial end surface.

  • Patent number: 10376950
    Abstract: A blade has a blade, passage extending in a blade height direction, a platform passage formed inside a platform, and a communication passage leading from an outer surface of a shaft-mounted part through the platform passage to the blade passage. An inner surface defining an inflow passage portion of the platform passage includes a shaft-side inner surface that faces a gas path side. The shaft-side inner surface spreads in a direction having more of a component of a blade thickness direction than a component of the blade height direction. An inner surface defining the communication passage joins to the shaft-side inner surface.

  • Publication number: 20180200783
    Abstract: A blade (50) has a blade, passage (71) extending in a blade height direction (Dwh), a platform passage (81) formed inside a platform (60), and a communication passage (75) leading from an outer surface (93) of a shaft-mounted part (90) through the platform passage (81) to the blade passage (71). An inner surface defining an inflow passage portion (82) of the platform passage (81) includes a shaft-side inner surface (88) that faces a gas path side. The shaft-side inner surface (88) spreads in a direction having more of a component of a blade thickness direction (Dwt) than a component of the blade height direction (Dwh). An inner surface defining the communication passage (75) joins to the shaft-side inner surface (88).
